Hey everybody this is Phil Town this is Phil Town this is Daniel Town and

welcome to the invested podcast where we're gonna be talking for the next few minutes about how

reasons why you should get invested in your financial life

meaning you take over control of your money instead of giving over control to fund

managers, exchange-traded funds, advisors who do it for you.

We're going to make an argument here that first you really need to do this for

a multiple of reasons including moral reasons and second for financial reasons because you'll do far better we believe on your own and third

because it's not rocket science and you can do it and we're going to show you the ways to do it.

There we go.

Wow.

That was a good little summary, Dad.

Yeah, we talk about how thinking about your money and handling your money yourself creates a more invested person in the world and I know that's what I'm looking for. I mean I would much rather hand my money over to somebody else let's be honest

but I also would but rather like never brush my teeth again and I have to do that so

And in general just for everybody who's jumping into the 60th some podcast here,

and you're just climbing in to the latest podcast

and hoping you can figure out what we're doing. Let me just

introduce ourselves real briefly. I'm a guy that's been investing basically

family money for the last 30 years, 30, wow, 30 more than 30, 35 now.

Oh, you're not that old dad, don't worry.

It gets...

Let's say like, let's say 31, 31 years.

Okay.
